ok new idea i thought of that could work, is a sort of simultaneous game, where each turn would be split into the phases.

So 1st everyone would deploy their 2 countries/units, then everyone would plot movement, then all units would move. If 2 units were trying to move/end on the same space then you would compare movement, with the one with the highest value remaining getting to move (tho this is just a rough idea), in the case of a drw not sure needs more thought.

Anyway after taht all players would plot their attacks, then all untis would fire at once. (could mean that 2 players attack the same unit and kill it twice over)

Then everyone would deploy reinforcements, then countries.

But as far as i can tell this'll take forever under the current way of playing, so only way of this working is if u all get together at a set time (eg like in most other tbs) and play a set number of turns, with the person with the highest balance after the set turns being declared the winner.

I think this diea could work, but would it change the game too much? And is the ammount of programming needed todo this be fesable?

If 4, (or more) players were ever implemented in a FFA situation, I'd pity the person playing the Feds... 3 enemies invading your territories before you can so much as blink rather than just the PL - shudder...
